There have been many notable moments in the long and proud history of Ballina RFC and another one beckons at the weekend.
Connacht will host Leinster in the United Rugby Championship and two of our own will be front and centre.
Dave Heffernan has been playing some of the best rugby of his career this season and has been highly-prominent in Connacht's xciting start to the campaign.
Caelan Doris has been leading Leinster impressively after being installed as team captain at the start of the season.
Both men began their rugby journeys on the hallowed turf of Heffernan Park and we're exceptionally proud of the two of them. Both are inspirational figures who never forget their roots.
It promises to be a special occasion on Saturday and we wish all involved the very best of luck.
